correctly and in contact with air for extended periods of time may lose their accuracy. If the ‘best
before’ date of your electrodes has expired please order new electrodes from Firstbeat.
In rare cases, the electrode adhesive may cause skin irritation in long term use, especially for those
with particularly sensitive skin. To minimize any potential problems please follow these instructions:
• Only use electrodes provided by Firstbeat because they are clinically tested, safe and
approved even for medical use.
• Clean the electrode placement spots (below right clavicle and left rib cage) before attaching
electrodes, especially if there is sweat or some impurity .
• Add a thin layer of non-greasy basic lotion to the spots where you will attach the electrodes.
• Let the basic lotion dry out carefully (at least 10 min) to avoid electrode contact problems to
the skin.
• When removing electrodes, it is recommended to do it for example in the shower to
minimize mechanical stress to the skin. WARNING: Remove the Bodyguard 3 device and
cable before doing this.
• Also when removing electrode adhesive residue from skin it is recommended to do it gently
with a mild water and soap solution and to avoid excessively rubbing the skin.
• Change the electrode placement on the skin when replacing electrodes.
• Repeat all the above steps every time when attaching new electrodes or removing old ones.
